Sinopse

The second edition of A Concise History of Brazil offers a sweeping yet accessible history of Latin America´s largest country. Boris Fausto examines Brazil´s history from the arrival of the Portuguese in the New World through the long and sometimes rocky transition from independence in 1822 to democracy in the twentieth century. In a completely new chapter, his son Sergio Fausto, a prominent political scientist, brings the history up to the present, focusing on Brazil´s increasing global economic importance as well as its continued democratic development and the challenges the country faces to meet the higher expectations of its people.
